| When you observe your bird eating, or playing with
SCENIC, reduce the usual food to ¼ portion.
When you are SURE your bird is eating SCENIC,
remove the usual food completely for one month. After
one month, the usual food may be fed occasionally
as a treat.
Once your bird is eating SCENIC, he may appear
to drink more water than usual. This is normal.
Once converted, you can provide fruits and vegetables
in the cage all day in a separate cup. Make sure
SCENIC is at least ½ the diet of food your
bird eats (by volume) on a daily basis. Use a measuring
cup if you wish.
Your bird may also consume more SCENIC on some
days than others and not eat much at all for more
than a day at a time. Your bird may act like he
cannot get enough SCENIC on some days and consume
more than average. All of these behaviors are normal
and should not be regarded as unusual.
Monitor your bird's weight through the feeding
conversion and at all other times of stress like
moving or adding new members to your family.
